How To Make White Gravy

It couldn’t be any easier to make homemade white gravy from scratch:

Stir flour into melted butter.
Stir in the flour and then whisk in the milk slowly, per recipe below.
Season and serve.

Leftovers

Keep leftover homemade white gravy in a jar in the refrigerator for about 3 days. Shake the jar before reheating. Reheat leftover gravy in a saucepan while whisking in a little milk. Freeze cooled white gravy in a zippered bag with the date labeled on the outside for up to 4 months. Reheat using the same method above.

Recipe Tips and Time Savers!

Lumpy gravy? No problem! Carefully pour gravy into a blender or food processor and puree.
For gravy that has that extra rich and smooth flavor, always use real butter and full-fat milk.
Homemade white gravy is a staple in any home cook’s kitchen! Use as a gravy, a sauce, or a topping in so many recipes!
